Royal King of Kings, Ancient of Days
Oh sing out now with song of praise.
Born in a manger, a baby lay
It was the first, best Christmas day.
Noel, Noel, sing all the earth
Sing of the Savior's lowly birth.
Our voices gifts to use for Him
No time to waste; He will return.
(By Zella May Robinson, my great-grandmother.)
This was a lady who passed down a faithful legacy to succeding generations. When my mother was just a young girl, Zella May prayed for her and for the children whe would have one day. She prayed for me, although I never knew her.

Wow, I've never heard that around here before! Where did you find it??? Neat-o! ;-)
Did you notice what the first letter of each sentence spells when you put them together??? ROBINSON (As in Zella May Robinson)
She was such a wonderful Grandma. I sure wish would would have had the opportunity to know her.
Hey, aren't you sharp, Aunt Patty! I didn't even see that. I hope that doesn't mean I'm dull. :)
I saw the poem at Uncle John's and wrote it down. It was a framed copy that I assume was in her handwriting.
What a wonderful legacy to have! And one to strive to carry on -- so powerful!
